Kindergarten News…
Congratulations! You made it through the first week of
Kindergarten!
**There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday due to the Labor Day
Holiday. Enjoy the long weekend.
Tuesday, September 2nd
will be Day 5—Gym class (Wear sneakers
and gym attire). Please
check your special classes’ schedule.
(Wed. 9/3-Computers; Thurs. 9/4-Music; Friday 9/5-Library)
· We’ve begun our new enVision Math. We will continue working on Topic
14: Identifying and Describing Shapes and Number Writing (0-9). Please review practice pages that
come home in your child’s folder.
· For Reading we will continue with the story, The Little School Bus. A Family
Times newsletter was sent home with details about the story and skills we
will be working on. Please review
the Amazing words, the ordinal numbers, first,
second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth,
letter recognition of letters Aa, Bb,
Cc, Dd, and Ee, the story
element “character”, and the high frequency words I and am.
· Continue to check your child’s communication
folder daily and if you haven’t
already returned all the school forms and necessary paperwork, then please
return them as soon as possible.
Items on the KEEP side need to be removed at home. **Any
money, notes, or items for the teacher to see NEED to be in your child’s
folder. Mrs. Potts doesn’t look
through book bags---only the folders!
·
We now have begun our class
snack donations. Anyone who chose to participate in the
class snack WILL NOT need to bring a snack unless
a note was sent home in your child’s folder. I usually give at least 2-3 days
notice. **20 students will be
participating with the rotation.
**Parents who requested to provide
a snack daily should have received a note reminding them to pack a snack each
day.
**For those providing snack for the class, remember snacks must be
STORE BOUGHT and that if cups, spoons, or napkins are needed you will need to
provide those as well.
·
FYI: Friday, September 12th will be
School Picture Day!
Information will be sent home in your child’s folder this week. Kindergarten is usually photographed
first thing in the morning. **Money is due at the time of pictures
and school dress code is to be followed on picture day! ALL students
will be photographed whether pictures are being purchased or not!!!
·
This week we will begin homework. All homework pages will be stamped
“HOMEWORK” and will be placed in the Return side of the folder. Homework needs to be completed the
night it comes home and needs to be returned the next day. (Be sure to check the return side of
the folder daily.) *Homework
will also be posted on my blog each week. (District website www.northschuylkill.net
under Elementary Center, pull down tab to Homework Helpline, click on Angela
Potts)

Many parents expressed an interest in
volunteering this school year. Those interested should join the PTO and
have both criminal record check and child abuse clearances on file in the
office before helping with the children at school. Forms can be picked up in the
elementary office as needed. The
1st PTO meeting will be held on Monday, September 8th @
6:30 in the school cafeteria.
**Parents who would like to help out any day at lunchtime can report to
the office by 12:15 for our lunch from 12:15-12:45. The helping hands are GREATLY
APPRECIATED!
·
The September Scholastic Book orders are due by
Monday, Sept. 8th.
Orders can be placed online at www.scholastic.com/readingclub
using the activation code: GJXGV or send in orders and money to the
teacher—cash or checks made payable to Scholastic
Book Clubs.
·
Every
Friday of the school year is a spirit day! This is completely
optional! It is done to
promote school spirit and enthusiasm for our sports teams. Our colors are red and blue. The children are allowed to wear any
North Schuylkill t-shirt or NS shirt and uniform pants or uniform shorts. The children may dress in regular uniform
clothing if you wish.
·
Try to make sure your child has his/her bus tag
every day. The end of the day is
hectic and some children don’t know their bus numbers yet!
·
If anyone still has forms to complete, then
please complete and return them as soon as possible. Thank you!!!
·
Keep practicing your child’s 4-digit number!!
**Congratulations to Kaitlynn
Menuchak for winning the “Guess How Many” Starburst @ Meet the Teacher. Kaitlynn’s sister Mackenzie guessed exactly-55!!!
I hope your child has enjoyed his/her
first week and is looking forward to returning on Tuesday!!!
